I believe it might be unconstitutional but I am no expert. Perry issued an official proclamation in his capacity as the Governor of the State of Texas, thereby on behalf of the State Texas, about the event, invoking the name of Jesus and inviting people to a Christian prayer event. Like, I said, I’m no expert but that seems like a violation of the establishment clause. And @poisonedantidote the issue isn’t whether or not the prayer assembly can or should happen, whether or not those people have a right to “peaceably assemble,” of course they do, that is not what the suit is about. It is about whether or not Perry, in his official capacity as the Governor of the State of Texas has the constitutional right to endorse and promote the event in an official state proclamation. And @Blackberry, I don’t think it matters whether or not any state funds were involved, though they may have been if Perry travel to the event was paid for with taxpayer money. Again, not a lawyer, not an expert. Anyway, this is an issue for the courts.
